Marlowe Reunion

After the soccer tournament I left Utah late at night to get back for the Marlowe reunion. On the way back I got lost in Brigham City. I was so grateful for Don's and I's new iphones. I was able to find my way without stopping to ask for directions. It's a little scary to stop at a gas station by yourself with little kids at midnight.
At the reunion the fire department was spraying their big water hose. And even though we were just about to go swimming. Who could resist such fun?! The kids loved this!










You will notice Dad in the back ground HELPING. He was always doing what he could to make others more comfortable.

Since Don didn't come for the reunion. I was by myself. Lulu was not happy. So in order for me to take some pictures of the reunion, my dad would hold her for me.
The kids were really intent on hearing mom for the pinata.
John's little girl Whitney aka tinkerbell.
Beth's littlest girl Lanea.
Look at that FACE! Hehe
The Amy Marlowes.
Then we had the talent show.


Here is Dad doing his all time favorite "the barnyard stomp".

I have to say that at this reunion I remember looking at my dad and seeing pure joy on his face. At the time I just filed it away in my head without to much thought. I had to much to do with the kids and seeing everyone. I regret not spending more time with him there. I regret not hugging him more. Why didn't I push for more pictures of MY family? He loved that his kids and his family were together. Family was everything to him. This was the last time I saw him so happy and the LAST. It took me months to be able to look back at these photos.
